Black & Decker CM1836 Manuel D'instructions page 4

• USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Make sure the extension cord is in good condition before using. Always use the proper size extension cords with the tool – that is, proper wire size
for various lengths of cord and heavy enough to carry the current the tool will draw. Use of an undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. For proper size cords see chart below.
• CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the mower, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect their operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced by an authorized service center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this manual.
• REPAIRS AND SERVICE. Repairs, maintenance and any adjustments not specified in this manual should be performed by Black & Decker
authorized service centers or other qualified service organizations, always using identical replacement parts.
• ALWAYS firmly grip handle with both hands when operating mower.
